I’ve seen this multiple times in the past few days. The below caption that accompanied this particular posting of it really resonated with me. #repost via @hausofhoodoo ・・・ Whew! This was the first thing I saw on my feed upon waking up this morning. It hit me on the chest like a bullet. . . Why is it that the person who loves you gets less of you, the worse of you and the people on the streets who don’t know you, don’t love you, don’t matter get the smiles, the laughter and good times. I remember hearing my mother have these arguments with my father. I remember how he’d smile and laugh with the people outside and come home to give my mom his worse. As an adult woman I have experienced this for myself as well. But why? Why if I love you I get least of you, the very minimum, no effort. Why do I get the angry you, the tired you, the bitter you, the temperamental you, the no tolerance no patience you, why? Why does the homeless man on the street, the coworker and fake friend get more effort from you than the person who loves you? Why do they get a smile a the person who loves you gets a frown? I wish I had answers for my mother then but I don’t even have those answers for myself now. The people who love you aren’t your emotional punching bag, your dumping ground. And if you think because they love you they’ll stick around and put up with the mistreatment think again. It is 2019 and we are twirling on all of y’all. “I want you to leave. And don’t forget to go when you leave.” May this be the year when we demand more from love, more from our relationships, and more from our partners. . . .

You have to demand more of yourself if you’re not where you want to be. Don’t blame others, it’s you, not them. It’s not about beating yourself up. It’s not about using negative self-talk. I’m talking about self-awareness and accountability. Example: I was just not as efficient and focused as I usually am and I couldn’t figure out why. For the first time ever in my writing career I missed a deadline. Missing the deadline to have my manuscript turned in caused me a great deal of stress. I said to myself, “Come on, you’re greater than this.” Stress I’ve never had to deal with. Stress I carried over into my personal life. I stopped answering calls to reset. I’m usually calm and collected but I felt easily triggered and bothered. One of the main components of this was my lack of action towards executing my daily plan, my daily purpose. I was allowing myself to be distracted. I turned it around by getting back to basics. I’m the type of person who NEEDS lists to thrive. Most creative people are that way. To-do lists help me stay focused and not get distracted. The second thing I’ve been doing is dedicating specific time throughout the day for cellphone. People may assume that I’m on social media a lot because I use it for my business but I’m willing to bet I’m on it less than you. Even still, I needed to drastically decrease my time on social because I need that time for my purpose. Consider monitoring where you’re spending time. Lastly, I’ve been saying positive affirmations aloud when I check something off of my to-do list. Example: I finished editing/posting my podcast and I said “good job man, appreciate this moment”. It’s small but small positive affirmations can literally change your life. Focus on your purpose. One of the reasons you follow me is because I’m reminding you weekly to cultivate space and time for your daily purpose. We all get off track but let’s refocus!!!

ALL THAT YOU SEEK IS ALREADY WITHIN YOU 💸🧘💖⠀⠀ Everything comes from within and has been with you for lifetimes!⠀ ⠀ Every experience you've ever had has been recorded in your sub-conscious mind. Everything you are experiencing in life is an energetic match. Your experiences are your road map – are you on or off course? What's working? What's not working? What comes easy to you? What's difficult? These are the speed bumps that tell you where you need to look to heal. Do you have something that keeps happening to you over and over again? Some type of underlying pattern? Do you feel blocked to receiving wealth, health, peace or joy in your life?⠀ ⠀ Want to manifest better finances, relationships, or self-confidence?⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Let me help you!⠀⠀ ⠀ Though various techniques I have studied throughout the years and with the gifts I have received, I can gently guide you, with the help of your Higher Self and Spirit, to discover what it is that is holding you back. I can help remove negative energies, help clear destructive blocks, remove trapped emotions that can create pain in the body, and help you live a more expansive and free present! ⠀ ⠀ The present is all we have. We are constantly creating from how we feel in the present moment. How much time do you spend worrying about a future reality? Well, this might sound unbelievable to some of you but there is no future. There are only a string of present moments and from these present moments we attract the next present moment. If in the present moment you are functioning from fear or worry you are going to continuously attract that energy. Start by having gratitude for what you have now!⠀ ⠀⠀ I'm giving away a FREE 10 minute Energy Clearing video to help you remove some of the energetic blocks that are keeping you from manifesting your desires.⠀⠀ LINK IN BIO or you can visit this page: https://buff.ly/2VvQOFo⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ TAG a friend who could use this! 💚 🕉️🙏 Namaste⠀⠀ -Jess⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #lawofattraction#lawofattractionquotes#lawofattractionspecialist#lawofattractionworks#lawofattractionquote#lawofattractioncoach ⠀⠀ #loa#thesecret#namaste#energyhealing#energyhealer#healing#synchronicity#highervibrations

True guys!! Free energy exists and has for a very long time!! . . . At this point in time we shouldn’t even have or need hydro poles hydro stations, etc. Every house, business, arena , rec centre, apartment , high rise should be running and self sustaining on its own free energy. . . An abundance of free or zero point energy is all around us, this would literally change our world over night 💯 . . I am 💯 certain this is going to come to fruition and be our future, I encourage people to keep experimenting, keep intentions high, put it on vision boards ask for the knowledge to finding zero point energy!! Once we have a solid safe system to harnessing this energy, first thing would be to send it out to the masses as fast as possible on a massive scale that can’t be stopped. It will be monumental in changing our world for the better 👍🏻👌🏼🌱✌🏻 Research Nikola Tesla first then go forward from there, lots of experiments on line. . .

These last few months have... sucked, to put it simply. I’ve been in endless (it seems..) pain in my ribs, and each movement I make is still painful, and often I’ll move in such a way that sets me back 5 steps in my healing. I’ve been feeling isolated, somewhat lonely, and missing my yoga practice & daily life. Teaches me to be extra compassionate to those who have chronic pain, as it truly is a bitch. And to not take my (normal) healthy status for granted any longer. When I’m back to normal, I will honor and appreciate my body 🙏🏼 . . . Art: @starchildtarot

Women’s Unity Movement presents : “SURVIVORS” Introducing Taura 🌸 When I look back at photos of what I call my “old self,” I barely recognize her. I can see the hurt and insecurities as much as the image itself... entirely different from the woman standing before you now. It took a long time for me to acknowledge my abuse. I swept it under the rug until I tripped over the proverbial mountain of pain underneath it. Then on my back with tears crawling out of my soul, I knew that I had to fix myself. I was writing my first book, “100 Things Every Black Girl Should Know”, and it took me months to write the section on abuse. The process was cathartic but more importantly, it both angered and propelled me to be very intentional and unapologetic about loving myself. I am no longer held captive or defined by my painful past. A past that is painted with horrible imagery that used to play in my mind daily like having a gun pointed at me or being choked within seconds of my life. Those moments were the crux of my story until I decided to focus on the fact that I survived! Instead of focusing on the hurt, physical/emotional pain, humiliation, and only God knows what else I shifted my focus. I became laser-focused on the flickering ember inside of me that I knew one day could become a beacon of bright hope for myself and others. The monsters were able to walk right into my heart through my brokenness. And with lots of prayer, meditation and therapy that same brokenness allows my light to shine through. If you are dealing with domestic violence, the first thing that you need to do is be safe. Unfortunately, there are so many women that stayed one more night and didn’t see morning. We never think that it would happen to us until it does. I remember covering my tracks to protect someone who was killing my spirit and defacing my body. It was a part of the sickness, but I, along with the Natasha and so many resilient women are living proof that healing is possible. My mantra is “Believe-Become” because good or bad we become precisely what we believe. So I literally started to believe that I am magic - that I am worthy, and that I am so damn strong that I wish a motha****
